Legendary Arsenal player Ian Wright related a heart-stopping moment he had on Tuesday night as Tottenham‘s Heung-Min Son broke through on goal against Manchester City. During those critical seconds, Wright said, his life “flashed in front of him.”
Arsenal has a chance to win the Premier League for the first time in twenty years on the last day of the season. They have to defeat Everton and hope Manchester City loses against West Ham in order to do it. Whatever the result, the Gunners have had an outstanding season, pushing City all the way—a feat that few clubs do.
Wright spoke about his strong response to Son’s miss. If Tottenham had been able to take points off City, Arsenal’s destiny may have been well in their own court. Pep Guardiola’s team, regrettably, won 2-0 with two goals from Erling Haaland. Son had a great chance to tie the game, however, with the score 1-0. In lieu of Ederson, Stefan Ortega made a vital save to deny Son.
